Chapter 274

Ascension Tower Changes

The black fog in the sky completely blocked the sunlight. The bright sun at noon was replaced by the dark aura of the devil. It was as if countless monks who were stuck in a bottleneck for many years gathered together to overcome the tribulation at the same time.

It was gray outside. Yan Qingyan had thought that this day would come soon, but she did not expect it to come so quickly and violently. In just one year, the former holy land for cultivating immortals became no different from the land of the Demon Abyss.

"Mo Chen, this is a bit bad." Yan Qingyan murmured as she watched the howling energy of the demonic abyss outside the protective formation.

A year ago, the two of them sat at the city gate, like tourists checking in, pointing out the upgrade work of the protective formation. Even though they knew that a disaster was about to come, they were not in a hurry and were as leisurely as idle clouds and wild cranes.

A year later, the two came to the city gate again and were dumbfounded by the completely different scene in front of them.

The changes happened too fast and were too drastic.

Ling Mochen was silent, his eyes fixed on the protective formation in front of him, watching it frequently flash with golden light, time and again blocking out the aura of the demonic abyss that covered the sky and the sun, giving people a full sense of security.

I have to say, it is worthy of being a product of the Holy Academy. The worry I had before coming here can finally be put at ease.

"It looks like the formation can hold out for a while longer." Ling Mochen said.

"Just sit there and wait to die?" Yan Qingyan frowned. This was not her character.

"The riot in the Demonic Abyss has just begun. Qingyan, don't be anxious. Just wait and see how things develop." Ling Mochen said with a smile.

The two of them found a place with few people and looked quietly outside the barrier. At this time, the city and the outside of the city seemed like two different worlds.

As Yan Qingyan watched, she suddenly became a little dazed. In a trance, she seemed to see her past life. The barrier of the base was like this, keeping all the zombies of the end of the world out, and struggling to resist wave after wave of zombies until it was broken.

Dongyang City is just a city of neither size, and Yan Qingyan has no idea how much materials have been added to the defensive formation here, and how much materials have been embezzled. If she can't hold on, it will be troublesome if she wants to go to other cities.

After the Demon Abyss riot, most of the teleportation arrays were temporarily suspended because the larger cities were full.

The two men sat in a corner, deliberately concealing their auras. There were many monks around watching, but no one paid attention to their conversation.

Yan Qingyan sat leaning against Ling Mochen, her eyes fixed on the wonders outside the city gate, her mouth moving constantly, waiting for her Taoist partner to feed her small, fleshy spiritual fruits.

"Hmm~" Yan Qingyan chewed twice and said in a vague voice: "Mo Chen, I just sold another thousand-year-old nine-color holy flower, and the price has increased tenfold compared to before."

Yan Qingyan said this in a casual tone, as if she was saying that I sold a stone and earned a low-grade spirit stone.

But Ling Mochen could hear the happiness in her tone. As a cultivator, who doesn't care about spirit stones?

"Qingyan, I have an idea. I can refine the thousand-year-old nine-color holy flower into liquid medicine. The medicinal properties are the same, and I can divide it into a few more portions to sell." Ling Mochen said casually.

"No, time is precious. Instead of spending time refining this medicine, you might as well spend more time with me. We have plenty of spiritual plants." Yan Qingyan raised her chin and snorted.

Ling Mochen chuckled, thinking of the vast expanses of nine-colored sacred flowers in the space. Even though he was no longer surprised by them, he couldn't help but hold his breath.

He still couldn't get used to such enormous wealth.

"Okay," he whispered.

"Hehe~" Yan Qingyan smiled.

Ever since the Demon Abyss rioted again and no one took the initiative to seal it, they have not seen the sun again.

The only light in the sky came from the protective formation's own golden light, which flickered on and off like an old light bulb with poor contact.

Many people couldn't stand this depressing atmosphere and gathered together to discuss solutions and purification plans. Yan Qingyan, on the contrary, liked this atmosphere very much. It seemed like the most suitable place for young couples to date before the end of the world in her previous life.

Unfortunately, she was the only one enjoying this feeling. Ling Mochen, the wooden man, was staring straight outside the city, thinking seriously like other cultivators.

Yan Qingyan leaned on Ling Mochen's shoulder, feeling a little sleepy.

Immortal cultivators do not need to sleep, and can rely on meditation instead of rest, let alone her who is already in the fusion stage.

But she still didn't give up her old habits. Once she arrived at a dim place, she couldn't resist the sleepiness but couldn't really fall asleep.

Dimly, she heard the conversations of the people around her.

The topic ranged from the Yinhuang Sect to the Holy Academy, from some geniuses in the Holy Academy to some hostile forces in the Holy Academy, and even she herself was heard.

"Look, that rich man has put up another thousand-year-old nine-color sacred flower for auction!"

"I'm so jealous. This thing is a treasure. With it, even if the demonic energy outside is raging, I dare to go out and try my luck."

"What's the point of going out now? Are you looking for death? The first thing we have to do is to purify it. The more the Demonic Abyss Qi is purified, the faster the Profound Sky Continent will recover. This is what Tianjizi of Qianji Pavilion said."

"There are only a few things that can purify the energy of the Demon Abyss. The Millennium Nine-Colored Sacred Flower is one of them. That person really knows how to seize the opportunity and make a fortune."

"Where on earth did he get so many treasures? These natural treasures that require stringent growth conditions are not easy to find."

"If I had a holy flower by my side, I wouldn't have to worry about my safety even if the protective formation was destroyed."

“…”

Yan Qingyan half-opened her eyes and listened attentively. She didn't expect that her spiritual plant would cause so much discussion.

In the past, when she took out the spiritual plants in the space to sell, the focus of discussion was always the spiritual plants that could improve aptitude, such as "Spirit Cleansing Grass" and "Nine-Transformation Spirit Cultivation Grass". But now, no one is interested in them, and all the attention has been snatched away by the thousand-year-old nine-color sacred flower.

"Haha~" Thinking of this, Yan Qingyan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Qingyan?" Hearing the voice, Ling Mochen looked over and casually fed her another small spiritual fruit.

"Mo Chen, did you hear what those people said? After a while, let's take the thousand-year-old nine-color sacred flower and go out for an adventure." Yan Qingyan looked interested.

Ling Mochen was speechless, Qingyan really couldn't sit still.

But in the current situation, Ling Mochen thought about it and said, "If we go out for adventure, where should we go?"

"This..." Yan Qingyan was stunned by the question.

Just as she was racking her brains to think about the special places in Tianxuan Continent, a commotion came from not far away.

"Look, something big has happened!"

"Oh my god, what does Sheng Tianzong's leader do?!"

Yan Qingyan was startled and quickly opened the message jade slip. This special jade slip was a magic tool sent by the city lord to everyone for easy notification before the Demon Abyss riot.

A line of characters floated in front of the two people's eyes, and the few numbers carried a huge amount of information.

[The former leader of the Holy Academy, Sheng Tian, ​​went to the Ascension Tower alone. He used ancient forbidden techniques to clear out the devil abyss in the tower. He invited all the cultivators in the Divine Transformation Stage and above on the continent to challenge the tower together and explore the path to ascension! 】

The moment they saw the message, before the two of them could think of anything, a vast voice spread across the entire continent and entered everyone's consciousness.

“No matter if it takes hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or millions of years, the cultivators of the Tianxuan Realm who are devoted to the Tao will definitely find a smooth path for our world to ascend. Today, I, the immortal cultivator Shengtian, will offer sacrifices to the heavens. My spirit will merge into the Tower of Ascension and I will watch over the cultivators until I witness the day when the path to ascension is reopened!”
